Here is the new contest on LMAC. And the image above is how I perceived the base image. Below you can find the public domain resources that are used for this collage. Apart from the pictures, as you can see from the result, I also did some experiments with the smudge tool. My aim was to redirect the viewer's perception from daily reality to an abstract and utopic realm. And within this realm, I tried to present pure love through a childish kiss.
Before starting, here is the base image to start the collage:

At first, I thought of replacing the high ground with a kind of terrace where you can relax and enjoy the view. For this purpose, I used the wooden seat below and placed it on the hill.

Then I noticed the engraved heart at the back of the seat. So with the original sea view, I thought I could use a love theme. But I wanted something different.
When we say love, generally we refer to adults. So I decided to go with the kids. My idea was to use pure love from childhood and combine it with nature. I found below figures which I believe serves the purpose.

The last piece I used, was to change the sky to a more textured one. Here below is the source for it.

After combining all pictures, I used the smudge tool and posterize process to blend everything together.
Thanks for reading till the end. And I wish you all the best...
